Research Projects
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) Systems
Our long-term research goals include finding novel ways to incorporate mainstream technology for children and adults with disabilities who have lost the ability to speak or use language to formulate messages. Can you imagine not being able to communicate with your child? Imagine not being able to read a story book to you grandchildren because you had a stroke that resulted in aphasia. Find out how we are combating the loss of speech and language in our research projects below.
